Egyptian god of death and rebirth (6)

I believe the answer is:

osiris

(Other definitions for osiris that I've seen before include "once highly esteemed by Egyptians" , "God, husband of Isis" , "dead judge?" , "underworld boss" , "Egyptian god of the underworld" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
